The Lord of the Rings Online™ Welcome Back Week
 |
From 2nd February until 9th February, 2009 we’re inviting all players to come back and play LOTRO. The doors will be open for former players to enter the world of Middle-earth for a week of FREE game play.
If you’ve got a friend who used to play LOTRO and hasn’t logged in for a while then why not let them know about this great week too? Then everyone can take part!
All you have to do is download and patch up to the most recent version and log in starting 2nd February. Your account will already and will have been re-activated ready for you. If you do not wish to take part don’t worry, there's no need to do anything, we will automatically re-close all Welcome Back Week accounts at the end of the promotion.
